WOW! Yes, I thought long and hard about what to open this review with and that was all I could come up with. It is not often I find myself unable to find words but this lecture was just that good! Nicholas Einhorn has been around for a while and has authored numerous books, as well as released quite a few different products. If you have been in magic for a while, chances are you have at least heard his name come up and maybe even used one of his products, like the popular ‘Nest of Wallets’ or his take on the Ring Flight plot called ‘Pro-Flite’. In this lecture, Nicholas shares a lot of magic with everyone and shows why he is a well-respected performer. His opening piece was something he came up with when trying to devise a set for a FISM competition. It is very surprising and it is a fantastic utility which can be adapted to many different things out there; it is also a great way to transition from cards to coins, or lead into something which uses both. There was a wonderful story line effect called ‘Rainbow Deck’ in which a faded and worn card is shown face down in a plastic sleeve as a prediction. Of course, the selection and prediction match, but…the ending completely caught me off-guard and I found myself with my mouth wide open ??“ I followed everything that he was doing right up to the finale, but I did NOT see that coming! This particular effect is a great use for a rainbow deck of any sort. Aside from John Bannon, Nick has some of the best ideas and work on the Coin in Bottle that I have ever seen. I never really cared for the Coin in Bottle (I actually prefer and do two versions of ‘Cap in Bottle) for the very reason that Nicholas mentions in the lecture. The work on this plot that John Bannon put in his ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ book called “Vacuum Packed” made me reconsider using the ‘Coin in Bottle’ and Nick Einhorn has done the same thing. He shares subtle nuances and tips that make it all the more convincing and for that matter, magical. He also shares a tip about old gaffs that some magicians may like and others may not but it certainly is a valid idea if you think about it. There is one particular set that he performs and then explains that is an act unto itself ??“ there is a lot of magic packed into this set in a relatively small amount of time. He uses his marketed item called ‘Pro-Flite’ and while he does touch on how to utilize it within the context of this set, he does not fully explain the mechanics because it is a dealer item. Further still, he does use and explain the working of his ‘Nest of Wallets’ which is also a dealer item. This whole set shows just how powerful each of the individual things used in it can be, whether used together or on their own. I can see a lot of people buying ‘Pro-Flite’ (which I do use and recommend) and/or his ‘Nest of Wallets’ after seeing this. Nicholas discusses lots of other things beyond just effects such as structuring your acts/sets, how to be creative and in various aspects, the how/when/why of magic and other bits of business and ideas that will get you thinking. This has been one of the best lectures I have seen yet in this entire series and I only wish it would have been longer (Sounds greedy, huh? So? It was GREAT!) because the quality of the lecture was superb and in my humble opinion will be hard to match in certain aspects. Whether you are a beginner or a professional I have no doubt that there is something for everyone in this lecture, be it the tips and ideas or some actual effects/variations. If you are a fan of Nicholas Einhorn already, you will love this lecture and if you are not familiar with his work, this is an excellent lecture to introduce you to his body of work. VERY highly recommended! 5 stars. |

"This was an outstanding lecture. The magic that he taught that was not his own had unique touches and full routines included. You learn close up, walk around and stage magic. I can see most magicians getting something out of this whether you are just beginning or a full blown professional." Josh Burch, MyLovelyAssistant 11/21/2014 Full Review.
